The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, UC Irvine

Undergraduate Student Site

Mathematics and Basic Science Courses: Mathematics 2A-B, 2D, 2J, 3D, and 2E; Physics 7B/7LB or Physics 7C/7LC; Physics 7D and 7LD; Chemistry 1A-B-C and 1LB-LC, Chemistry 51A and 51LA. With approval of a faculty advisor, students select 4 units of Earth System Science and 4 units of Biological Sciences. Additional mathematics and basic science course work may be required depending on the students applied program.

Environmental Engineering Technical Electives
Engineering Topics Courses: Students must complete a minimum of 19 units of engineering design.

Engineering Elective Courses: Students must take two courses each from two of the following three groups.

Water Supply and Resources: CEE171, CEE172, CEE173, CEE176, CEE178, and Earth System Science 132.

Waste Water Management: CEE161, CEE163, CEE167.

Atmospheric Systems and Air Pollution Control: MAE110, MAE115, MAE164, Earth System Science 112.

All additional engineering topics courses needed to satisfy school and major requirements must be approved by the faculty advisor. Environmental Engineering is an inherently interdisciplinary program. Students interested in pursuing a dual degree with Environmental Engineering may be able to substitute appropriate course work for required courses stated above. Please consult with an Engineering academic or faculty advisor.

Engineering Professional Topics Courses: Environmental Analysis and Design E8, Economics 20A-B.

(The nominal Environmental Engineering program requires 190 units of courses to satisfy all university and major requirements. Because each student comes to UCI with a different level of preparation, the actual number of units will vary.)

At most an aggregate total of 6 units of 199 or H199 courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements.

Planning a Program of Study

The sample program of study chart showin is typical for the major in Environmental Engineering. This program is based upon a set of prerequisites, beginning with adequate preparation in high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Students who are not adequately prepared, or who wish to make changes in the sequence for other reasons, must have their programs approved by their faculty advisor. Environmental Engineering majors must consult at least once every year with the academic counselors in the Student Affairs Office and with their faculty advisor.
